A House of a Different Color

Well, from the looks of our headline, most of you might think that Lauren and Tommy have finally gotten on the painting wagon, but sadly no. Fortunately, Tommy and I have become a new house. Not just a blooming house, but a baby house... babysitting that is. We were so excited for Monday to roll around because my sister and brother-in-law were in need of a sitter while they could get their concert fix that they have been a bit short on these days. We were so happy to help them out and have my little niece, Miss Ara Jane (pronounced like Sarah, without the S) come over to play!


Our living room was where my sister 'setup shop' and gave us the rundown for the night. No kidding, our house went from unfinished living spaces to Ara's changing station and playroom. This is my kind of remodeling: lay a few blankets down along with what I like to call, a bag-o-tricks and you're good to go! Even Ara is more color coordinated than we are. Pink all the way!

And now for the entertainment!

We blew bubbles...


We giggled a lot...

We watched tv...

We watched ourselves...

We had dinner...

We had a pajama party... 

My sister made sure to pack the Valentine's Day jammies for Ara's Valentine Aunt. Sooo cute!

We watched Uncle Tommy pass out early and snickered at him. What a rookie.

And then it was Ara's turn. Shhhhh!!


She is such a wonderful baby and couldn't be more happy and proud of my sister and brother-in-law's beautiful family. She is always welcome to our Blooming House. And speaking of which, both The Blooming House and Ara will be having more family visitors this weekend. Ara's cousins, or "Cuzzies" as my grandma would always say, Carter and Avery are coming to town with her Aunt Jennifer and her grandma, aka "Nana". Let's hope for the best 5+ hour drive for the family mobile because I can't wait to see them all!
